Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson

I know that the nature we are concerned with ultimately is human nature. That is the point of the beautification movement, and that finally is the point of architecture. Winston Churchill said, ‘First we shape our buildings, and then they shape us.’ The same is true of our highways, our parks, our public buildings — the environment we create. They shape us.

-Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson
Environmental champion and First Lady of the United States during the presidency of her husband, Lyndon B. Johnson.
